Preventive effect of the bark of Passiflora edulis on obesity-related disorders and oxidative stress in db/db mice
(2019-07-01)
Purpose: To verify if the bark of Passiflora edulis prevents obesity-related disorders and oxidative stress in db/db mice. Methods: Obese male db/db mice (n = 14 animals) were randomly divided into two groups to receive ...
Behavioral characterization of a model of differential susceptibility to obesity induced by standard and personalized cafeteria diet feeding
(2015)
Despite the increase in obesity prevalence over the last decades, humans show large inter-individual variability for susceptibility to diet-induced obesity. Understanding the biological basis of this susceptibility could ...
Changes in gut microbiota due to supplemented fatty acids in diet-induced obese mice
(2013)
Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD), which is associated with chronic ‘low-grade’ systemic inflammation, alters the gut microbiota (GM). The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of an oleic acid-derived ...
Central leptin replacement enhances chemorespiratory responses in leptin-deficient mice independent of changes in body weight
(Springer, 2012-08-01)
Previous studies showed that leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice develop obesity and impaired ventilatory responses to CO2 . In this study, we examined if leptin replacement improves chemorespiratory responses to hypercapnia (7 ...
Obesity increases mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-3 levels in the hypothalamus of mice
(2017-10-09)
Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase 3 (MKP-3) has been involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. The absence of MKP-3 is also associated with reduced adiposity, increased energy expenditure and ...
